He's better off that   way

Here's what I say
    A minorAm           FF
To the girl who was burning so brightly

And still I will search for her nightly
  FF  CsusCsus      C majorC      F7F7
If you see her, please send her my love
     A minorAm          FF
And the boy was a boy for all seasons
   A minorAm           FF
That boy is long lost to me now
     DmDm          GsusGsus  G+G
And the man has forgotten his reasons
     BbM7Bbm7          C7susC7sus
But the man still remembers his vow

 F5F5           F7susF7sus
A augmentedA promise, a man says forever

Til we do, the promise I made I'll make it brand new
  C7susC7sus         F5F5
The promise that I made to you
